		<h3>Volunteering for Texas Husky Rescue</h3>

			<p>
				What an exciting year it has been for Texas Husky Rescue! With your support and help, we saved over 300 huskies since May 2009. The group continues to
			grow and flourish and we couldn’t be more proud and appreciative of all our volunteers and fosters. Without our dedicated volunteers, we would not have
			been able to save so many lives. As we continue to grow in size, so does our need for additional volunteers in a variety of different areas. (If there
			is something you are interested in doing, and you don't see it listed, please send us an email to <a href="mailto:Contact@texashuskyrescue.org">contact@texashuskyrescue.org
			</a>with your suggestions.)
